Get kicked out of your castle by the Sheriff of Nottingham. Assemble a band of merry men. Gain popularity by robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Be declared an outlaw. Woo Maid Marian. No, this game is not based on any of the movies especially not the one starring Kevin Costner. Robin Hood starts with an amusing little intro in which Robin is stripped of his castle.
You take control of the sulking no really, it's quite funny Robin outside the gates. This gives the impression that Robin is not the most together or competent individual, despite what the stories say. Your job is to lead Robin on his quest to regain his castle.
Rescuing Will Scarlet, for example, involves shooting his captors with your bow. Save your game before you fire, as you're just as likely to shoot Will instead of the guard Erm, sorry, Will. This is mildly irritating, but actually goes along well with the feel of the rest of the game. In fact, the game has that very sort of feel to it. The graphics are a bit on the small side, but very well done think of a greener Art of War.
All the major characters are easily identified and instantly lovable it's disgusting really. There are some static images to set the mood for certain events such as the changing of seasons that are quite good. All in all, Robin Hood does a fine job on the visual front. The sound does its job well, but is nothing too amazing. The bow makes a little 'thwip' sound when you fire it, the castle gate clatters up and down, horns herald announcements and hangings, church bells ring, etc.
That's about it, really; no pumping industrial soundtrack by Trent Reznor no soundtrack at all, actually , no 'chick-chick' of shotguns being cocked, no sounds of people running around screaming while on fire Wow, sorry, Quake took over my brain for a moment there. All in all, Robin Hood is a fun little game with quite a bit of humour to keep you into it.
There are a few points at which it isn't very obvious as to what you should be doing and thus you spend a bit of time wandering around doing nothing, but this doesn't happen too often and never becomes a problem you can always go and practice with your bow at the target if you're bored or totally flabbergasted.
Enjoy the game! This a great little game I used to play on the ST. The game starts as you, Robin Hood, being evicted from your castle, along with your people, by the evil sheriff of Nottingham. Your task is to wander the landscape, recruiting merry men, and using resources to get your castle back.
Who knows, you might even lull Maid Marrian into your arms in the process. The game is an isometric view, with fairly decent graphics. You can attack guards with your sword or bow and arrow, see the soothsayer, save peasants from hanging. The sheriff grows to dislike you very easily; if youre not careful, you might find yourself at the end of a long rope yourself ;. Despite the picture of Kevin Costner on the cover, the game is thank goodness not based on the movie.
